Secret Journal »

Pam - as a follower of the Zone system from my younger days in photography, watching for middle grey is something I do even with out my camera. I saw your wonderful offer and so happy to see someone receive it. I have my own copy of Middle Grey and as you. love and appreciate it.

mary mcelroy - I am so excited to be the winner. I will never be a pro but my goal is to keep learning and improving. I want my legacy to my grandchildren to be beautiful photographs documenting their lives. Imagine someday my great-great-grandchildren being able to hold photos of my beautiful granddaughter when she was just a few days old and seeing the sweet fuzz on her newborn cheeks.

Shannon - The book looks amazing — I am not sure how or what to share to show a good heart. I think your work and words are an amazing inspiration. I do know that since I started using ONLY your actions to do b/w I have been the happiest I have ever been doing them — they come close to a a few film b/w’s I have from the ‘day’. My dream is to one day do only b/w sessions for clients.

Krista Campbell - Thank you so much for the opportunity to have this amazing book. I love black and white and use it to capture my daughter’s soul in my photography. Black and white produces such powerful images that touch the heart and give us a window into the subject’s soul.

Sarah Phillips - These are breathtaking. For a while, I was doing all of my black and white conversions really bright, destroying the natural light and shadows, b/c that’s what I was seeing others do and I thought it was right. Lately I’ve been trying to be more real in both my shooting and conversions. I’d love to read this book.

SusieH. - I so want to learn B&W photography as it is my favorite. I do find much inspiration in your work.

Mary - I am not a pro but love children’s photography. I love how B&W brings the focus on the face of a child. I am doing everything I can to learn the art to preserve the memories of my grandchildren’s childhood. This book will be in my library. Thank you for the introduction to it.

Ferry - …super DOF

Nicole Sullivan - Addicted to B&W because of your products! I would love some texture goodies!

ingrid - Too late?……Would love to have a play, I have been a fan of your work for a while.

David Akesson - Hi Sonia,
Great to see the textures coming along.
Yes love both the presets and the actions.
But don’t pick me,…. I’ve got heaps of textures but will buy yours eventually. Rather please pick Nilofar Walters of Fig Tree Photography. I’ve been mentoring Nils since you purchased her first digital slr a few years ago. You should see her work now,…. in fact check it out at http://www.figtreephotography.com.au. I’m trying to get her to branch out into the world of textures to add that to her repertoire. She would be a worthy recipient.
Bless you heaps.
David
